Starting 2025 with Gratitude, Grace, and Grounded Intentions

,

To start a fresh new chapter, you need to close out the previous chapters…

I am so excited to share this with you. I walked myself through these on New Years Eve and it had a profound effect.

These prompts will help you honor all that has come to be, all that you have learned, as well as what you might need to forgive or release. They will also help you identify the little bits of funky feelings (like regret, guilt, and shame) that can keep you stuck in sneaky ways.

Make some tea, light a candle, play some soft music. Grab a journal, a notebook, or loose paper so that you can be unrestricted in how much space you have to write. Then gift yourself the time to reflect and journal on each of these prompts.

Then join us on Monday, January 6th at 7:00 pm for the live meditation where we will support you in the process of integrating the blessings and successes, forgiving and releasing what needs to be released, and then embodying your intentions for 2025.

Make sure to get the call details:

Part I: Appreciating 2024 & bringing it to conclusion:

  1. What wins, successes, accomplishments do I want to celebrate?

  2. What magic, miracles, blessings came to me and my family?

  3. What challenges or lessons did I face?

  4. What am I proudest of?

  5. How have I grown this year?

During Monday’s call, we will be doing a gratitude and integration activity for these.

Part II: Forgiving and releasing what might have been difficult:

  1. Are there any things I regret or wish I had done differently?

  2. Are there any things from my past (2024 or previous years) for which I feel guilt, shame or embarrassment?

On Monday’s call, we will be doing a clearing and forgiveness meditation to help you bring compassion to yourself and these situations, so they don’t hold you back.

Part III: Opening 2025 with gentle seeds of intention

  1. What would I like to do more of this year?

  2. Do I want to choose a word for the year to gently inspire me? (See some ideas below)

  3. Would I like to give myself ONE stretch goal in ONE area of my life?

On Monday, we will do an anchoring process so they become embodied intentions.

Word of the year ideas:

Play * Laughter * Gratitude * Movement * Love * Friends * Flexibility * Peace * Grounding * Paris * Balance * Spontaneity * Music * Sing * Focus * Sleep * Empowered * Free * Kindness * Strength * Vulnerability * Openness * Connection * Visibility * Purpose * Authenticity * Budget * Tidy * Adventure * Healing * Self-care * Joy * Trust * Honesty * Courage...

The Power of Emptiness vs. Being Consumed with the Material World

,

What helps us heal? What is the magic that helps us transform? How do we awaken?

The Tao speaks of being vs. non-being --in other words, of the material world vs. emptiness (or presence)-- and it says that though we see and engage with the material, what really matters is the emptiness (the experience, our inner presence).

In order to awaken, to heal and transform...

Polarity: Finding Peace in the Midst of Hard Times

, ,

Today I want to talk about how the nature of our universe is one of polarity. My simple metaphor illustrating the nature of polarity in all life might help you navigate the current challenging times.

Coronavirus has upended all of our lives, but it doesn't have to translate into fear, or overwhelm about the future. There are many ways in which we can actually find beauty, peace and strength in the midst of this.

Centeredness Boosts Immunity

We live in interesting times, don't we?

This global pandemic experience is certainly uniting all of humanity in a way no event I can think of has ever done. Can you think of any other time where all around the world, humanity was all on the same side, with the same uniting experience? Save from alien invasion movies, I think we'd be hard pressed to find another event quite like this.

It's also bringing out the best in people.

The Return of The Light

Today is the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. As of tomorrow, the days start getting longer, and the nights shorter. 

Having grown up in Venezuela, I had no awareness of the winter and summer solstices. In the tropics, there is no great variation in the length of days throughout the year. We only have a vague awareness that in December, dusk comes about 6:00 pm instead of 6:30 pm. 

But I actually find deep meaning in the solstice.
